A
Hello,
everyone-
this
is
the
next
and
last
event
for
today
we're
going
to
be
dealing
with
redistricting
software
and
we
have
a
lot
of
different
things
to
look
at
and
have
people
comment
about.
I
want
to
start
off
by
doing
a
couple
of
poll
questions
if
we
can
turn
those
on
so
that
people
could
see
those-
and
the
first
poll
question
is:
are
you
a
what
legislator,
redistricting
staffer,
regular
legislative
staff,
an
interest
group
outside
legal
lawyers
or
an
other
that's
kind
of
catch-up
catch-all
from
everybody?
A
A
This
is
the
first
one,
our
condolences
to
you
if
it's
the
case
and
then,
if
you
were
around
in
2010
or
you've,
been
around
for
two
or
more
times,
and
certainly
you
may
need
to
be
committed
by
the
time
you
get
finished
with
this
round
is
kind
of
looking
at
to
see
where
everybody's
experiences
are,
I'm
seeing
the
results
so
far
that
we
have
mostly
staffers
both
redistricting
and
legislative,
staffers
and
a
whole
bunch
of
others,
so
we'll
have
to
see
where
people
are
from
that
side,
but
certainly
from
the
standpoint
of
your
redistricting
experience,
58
percent
are
saying
it's
the
first
one
that
you
you've
been
through
or
will
be
through
so
good
luck
and,
as
I've
said
before
my
condolences
to
you
that
you're
gonna
get
get
involved
in
this
I
have
been
through.
A
This
is
my
fifth
round
of
redistricting,
and
that
is
why
I
have
all
the
gray
hair
that
you
you
see
on
my
on
my
beard
and
hair.
So
what
we
want
to
do,
I'm
going
to
first
off
do
a
little
bit
about
myself.
A
I've
been
involved
with
all
sorts
of
things
of
elections
and
redistricting
for
the
past
four
decades,
dealing
a
lot
with
census,
data
and
election
administration
information
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
I've
had
clients
all
across
the
country
we
have
from
election
data
services,
which
is
my
company.
We
have
been
the
ones
that
produced
the
red
and
blue
map
and
I'm
happy
to
announce
that
our
2020
map
will
is
now
going
to
the
printer.
A
It
will
have
yesterday's
results
from
georgia
on
it.
You
can
see
in
the
just
underneath
this
on
that
second
page,
there,
the
back
side,
we'll
have
two
little
insets
of
georgia
with
the
2020
election
results
from
the
runoff
from
yesterday.
We'll
start
shipping
this
next
week,
so
you
can
order
it
from
our
webpage.
A
A
We
are
also
the
producers
of
the
reapportionment
studies
that
come
out
every
year
when
the
census
bureau
puts
out
their
data,
and
we
just
released
a
week
before
last.
The
latest
estimates
from
december
of
this
year,
based
upon
what
the
census
bureau's
population
estimates
are
now
these
are
estimates.
These
are
not
the
results
from
the
2020
census.
A
They
won't
be
out
for
probably
another
month
is
what
we're
hearing,
certainly
in
terms
of
what
the
census
bureau
and
the
administration
was
telling
the
courts
in
california
a
couple
of
days
ago,
but
this
is
kind
of
the
last
clue
of
where
things
stand
again.
A
They
are
based
upon
estimates,
not
final
numbers,
but
there
is
a
couple
of
caveats
that,
in
fact,
when
we
look
at
the
trend
models
of
taking
the
data,
since
it's
put
out
at
a
different
time
than
the
actual
census,
we
can
start
seeing
that
a
little
shift
has
even
been
going
on.
A
And
indeed,
if
you
look
at
between
the
two
slides,
new
york
may
lose
a
second
seat
in
alabama
which
had
been
scheduled
to
lose
a
seat
based
on
the
data
would
not,
and
so
that
is
the
the
playing
that's
going
on
and
remember
that
we
only
have
435
districts
to
hand
out
and
every
district,
particularly
the
ones
right
at
the
margin,
can
be
very
close.
A
We
produce
these
studies
and
there
are
tables
that
are
up
on
our
website.
So
you
can
take
a
look
and
download
and
look
at
these
and
we,
as
I
said,
we
do
them
every
year
and
indeed,
when
the
census
bureau
puts
out
its
final
numbers,
we'll
do
another
press
release
because
we'll
take
a
look
at
what
the
impact
of
the
overseas
were
on
the
on
the
apportionment
and
a
number
of
other
factors
so
be
sure
to
come
over
to
election
data
services
on
that
side.
A
For
today,
we
are
going
to
have
four
different
offerings
for
you
from
four
different
vendors
that
have
redistricting
packages
that
are
available
for
purchase
lease
make
use
of
in
redistricting
and
so
we'll
have
each
each
of
the
individual
people
making
a
presentation,
tracy
hogan
from
maptitude
and
caliper
fred
hijazi
from
citygate,
with
autobahn
edge,
rich
ledbetter
from
esri
and
their
redistricting
package,
our
representative
from
zillan,
with
their
eye
district
side
ella
on
that
side.
A
In
today's
sessions
for
redistricting
we
have
because
we
now
have
four
people-
we're
we've
expanded
it
to
now
two
hours
we'll
go
to
6
30
at
the
at
the
least
to
let
everybody
make
a
presentation
we'll
have
25
minutes
for
each
vendor,
so
they
can
make
a
presentation
and
do
it
unencumbered
on
that
side
and
we'll
deal
with
cues
q
and
a's
as
the
time
goes
along
I'll,
be
monitoring
those
and
getting
those
kind
of
questions
from
you
as
we
go
along
so
be
sure
to
put
your
questions
into
the
q.
A
Remember
also
that
each
vendor
has
separate
rooms
in
the
atrium
of
the
of
the
presentation
sessions
where
you
can
sign
up
for
private
meetings
and
contact
them
to
spend
more
time
with
them
have
individual
presentations.
If
you
want,
or
whatever
the
vendors
are
more
than
willing
to
be
part
of
whatever
you
need
to
be
and
see
on
that
side,.
A
What
I
have
done
is
I've
asked
each
of
the
vendors
to
incorporate
some
questions
that
I
have
and
incorporate
these
questions
into
their
presentations.
So
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
what
they
are.
I
am
interested
from
the
standpoint
of
since
I
do
work
with
a
number
of
different
states.
What
is
the
pricing
on
their
packages,
but
I'm
not
looking
for
the
dollar
figure
prices.
That's
what
you
can
negotiate
yourself
with
each
of
the
vendors.
A
What
I
am
interested
in
is
what
kind
of
components
have
separate
pricings
that
that
they
may
have
proposed
in
proposals
that
they've
answered
how
many
seats
might
be
needed
to
purchase
before
you
might
get
multiple
disk
pricing
discounts
if
we're
doing
a
whole
legislature
or
both
caucuses
or
whatever
the
case
may
be,
what
is
separate
cost
that
there
might
be
for
servers
or
connections
to
mapping
services.
A
Certainly
on
that
side,
because
we
need
to
budget,
and
how
can
we
budget
for
these?
Various
components
is
one
question
that
I've
I've
heard
from
a
number
of
states.
A
Make
use
of
that
question
as
you
make
your
presentations
and
particularly
for
those
states
and
those
vendors
that
have
already
installed
in
different
legislative
bodies?
Have
you
experienced
any
firewall
problems
when
installing
a
legislative
body,
something
that
a
legislative
body
needs
to
think
about
or
be
cognizant
of
in
looking
at
your
particular
package
and
then
from
this
morning
session?
Certainly
we
asked
the
question
of
what
kind
of
public
access
are
you
implementing
or
planning
for
so
be
aware
of
that
and
the
key
question
from
all
of
us.
A
Looking
at
the
redistricting
side
with
what
james
said
this
morning,
how
are
you
as
a
vendor,
going
to
deal
with
the
entire
country's
pl
file
all
being
released
on
the
same
day,
and
that
means
for,
of
course,
each
of
the
states?
A
When
can
we
get
it
from
you
if
you're
going
to
process
it,
or
what
do
you
plan
to
do
on
that
side?
So
those
are
some
of
the
questions
that
we've
thought
about
ahead
of
time
and
I've
shared
with
them
so
that
each
of
the
vendors
could
address
these
kind
of
issues
on
that
side.
We'll
have
time
at
the
tail
end.
For
individuals,
questions
and
we'll
go
over
those
after
we
get
each
of
the
presentations
done
from
the
individual
vendors,
but
we
wanted
to
get
some
ideas
ahead
of
time.
A
So,
from
the
software
presentation
side,
first
off
tracy
will
be
from
maptitude
or
presenting
about
maptitude
from
her
company's
caliper,
and
so
I'm
going
to
stop
the
share
on
my
screen.
Tracy
and
let
you
then
share
your
screen.
So
we
can
see
your
presentation.
B
Very
good
kim,
thank
you
very
much
for
introducing
me
and
for
the
nice
introduction
that
you
provided
as
well.
I
can't
see
the.
B
D
C
C
C
B
E
E
B
Okay-
sorry
about
that,
so
we
have
incorporated
into
the
latest
version
of
maptitude
for
redistricting
the
ability
to
include
communities
of
interest,
no
matter
how
they
were
created.
So
if
you're
using
california
system
you're
using
representable,
it
doesn't
really
matter
the
system
that
you're
using
you
can
bring
those
in
to
aptitude
for
redistricting
for
consideration
as
communities.
C
B
C
B
B
B
However,
going
back
to
really
the
original
intention
of
contiguity,
it
really
had
to
do
with
travel
and
how
much
of
the
district
could
be
reached
without
leaving
the
district,
because
this
has
been
really
the
originating
goal
for
contiguity
analysis.
We
have
included
another
metric
travel
contiguity
to
take
this
into
consideration.
B
C
B
B
C
C
B
B
C
B
Districts
using
any
of
the
hierarchical
layers
in
your
plan
using
the
districts
as
they
are
currently
established,
the
center
of
those
districts
or
any
other
starting
points.
The
user
wishes
to
consider
the
assistant
creates
compact,
balanced
districts
that
are
not
meant
to
surpass
or
take
remove
the
human
experience.
This
is
really
meant
to
be
an
assistant
for
the
human
experience
to
then
refine.
B
C
B
C
B
B
Political
data,
if
you
choose
to
bring
that
to
your
redistricting
experience,
so
we
have
included
both
the
efficiency
gap
and
measures
of
political
asymmetry,
and
that
is
the
declination
and
mean
median
measures
in
this
particular
example.
The
data
that
I
had
did
not
have
precinct
returns
for
every
single
precinct.
So
there
is
a
note
that
automatically
appears
indicating
such
we
have
a
vast
array.
B
E
B
C
B
B
B
B
B
There
is
a
pop-up
that
provides
additional
information
about
that
district.
In
this
example,
we
are
using
travel
contiguity.
However,
this
pop-up
could
contain
anything
that
you
wanted
to
see.
You
could
have
legislator
information
with
a
photograph
and
an
email.
You
could
have
demographics
for
the
district.
The
possibilities
are
really
limitless.
B
C
C
B
D
B
Coming
to
probably
the
most
pressing
of
the
questions
that
kim
had
for
us
to
discuss
with
regard
to
preparation
of
the
public
law,
94-171
data
and
any
effect
that
would
be
had
by
the
simultaneous
release
of
all
of
these.
So
this
is
not
going
to
oppose
any
any
problem
or
any
slowdowns
for
us.
It's
something
that
we
are
well
prepared
to
deal
with,
so
the
50
state
release.
Well,
not
necessarily.
What
has
been
done
in
previous
decades
is
something
that
we
are
ready.
C
B
B
C
B
For
what
is
ysp
population
is
a
factor
in
pricing
with
higher
prices
for
larger
entities,
reflecting
the
likely
support
effort
that
we
provide.
So
I
think
I
I've
covered.
A
Thank
you!
There
we
will
tracy
if
you're
still
there.
A
There
was
a
couple
of
questions
that
came
in
before
we
go
to
fred,
for
a
second
is
if,
if
you're
a
interested
party
and
want
to
present
a
map
to
a
commission
or
legislature
for
their
review
and
your
state
uses
maptitude,
how
would
you
recommend
the
map
be
presented?
That
was
from
ricktop
topper.
A
B
C
A
All
right
and
then
the
other
question
was
making
presentations
and
full
screen.
You
had
a
number
of
different
windows
that
popped
up,
I'm
assuming
that
you're
on
a
laptop.
A
B
You
know
it's
really
a
question
of
what
a
user
is
most
comfortable
with
everything
can
be
arranged
easily,
so
that
the
experience
is
conducive
to
a
laptop
as
well
as
multiple
large
screens.
So
there
really
is
no
limitation.
You
can
use
threes,
three
monitors
if
you
want
to.
If
you
just
want
to
have
more
space,
you
can
project
to
a
very
large
screen
if
you're
working
with
a
group.
So
there's
really
no
specific
recommendation.
A
All
right,
okay!
Well,
thank
you!
There
tracy!
Let
us
move
on
now
to
fred
ajazi
from
city
gate
and
his
software
is
called
autobound
edge.
So
fred
go
ahead.
All
right.
D
D
Screen
all
right,
so
I
created
a
video,
because
I
wanted
to
make
sure,
with
with
the
tight
time
that
I
cover
as
much
as
I
can
and
give
you
guys
an
idea
of
really
how
our
various
pieces
of
technology
came
together
for
this
redistricting
cycle.
So
starting
with
an
introduction
of
the
company
we've
been
around
for
33
years.
This
is
our
third
cycle
of
redistricting.
D
D
D
Have
it
be
data
centric,
provide
options
for
public
participation,
both
in
redistricting
and
commenting,
provide
easy
plan,
sharing,
create
seamless
integration
between
all
of
the
desktop
and
web
applications
and
then
take
advantage
of
some
of
the
new
web
mapping
and
internet
technologies
that
have
been
developed
in
the
past
decade.
D
D
So,
let's
start
with
the
data
development,
we
provide
access
to
all
process
census
data,
but
we
felt
it
was
important
to
also
provide
those
tools
to
our
users,
so
this
application
is
geared
to
walk
you
through
the
download
of
census
data
creating
statewide
files
from
it
then
going
through
merging
pl
data
and
deciding
which
fields
you
want
to
include
and
not
include.
So.
The
list
here
is
showing
statewide
totals,
so
you
can
say:
okay.
Well,
if
you
know
only
50
people
picked
a
particular
category.
Maybe
I
don't
need
to
include
them
in
my
database.
D
D
And
then
adjust
prisoner
population
and
military
bases
if
you
have
a
need
for
moving
those
people
and
putting
them
back
in
their
home
addresses,
you
can
actually
do
that
with
the
software.
Finally,
you
can
validate
the
data
run.
Some
totals
and
check
make
sure
everything
is
good
before
you
create
the
jio
package
that
we
use
in
our
redistricting.
D
D
D
And
there's
a
number
of
other
types
of
base
maps,
for
example,
one
that
highlights
roads
and
then
for
areas
that
we're
trying
to
show
elevation.
So
if,
if
in
a
in
a
particularly
hilly
area,
the
the
shape
of
the
mountains
affect
the
districts,
there
is
one
that
shows
topographic
features.
D
The
little
gear
menu
on
the
upper
right
is
sort
of
a
quick
access
menu,
so
it
gives
us
access
to
some
of
the
more
used
functions.
All
of
the
menus
in
the
system
are
dockable,
so
you
can
move
them
off
to
different
screens
or
you
can
attach
them
to
different
parts
of
the
the
screen
here
so
that
you
can
optimize
for
you
for
using
the
system,
there's
also
a
quick
access
menu
on
the
left.
Here
I
just
turned
on
labels
that
show
population.
D
When
I
change
the
layer
of
geography
that
I'm
working
in
the
system
automatically
labels,
that
particular
feature,
so
I
changed
to
townships
now
the
labels
are
showing
for
townships.
I
am
changing
to
precincts
and
it's
showing
the
this
population
for
the
precincts.
I
can
turn
them
on
and
off
very
easily.
D
D
And
if
I'm
displaying
political
data,
which
in
this
case
I'm
going
to
show
presidential
it's
smart
enough
to
show
it
in
red
and
blue
and
also
it'll
stack
the
the
larger
number
on
top.
So
here
we
are
in
an
area
where
there
was
a
lot
of
democratic
precincts,
so
there's
blues
on
top
and
then
whatever
there's
red
on
top.
That's
a
precinct
that
leaned
republican.
D
D
D
It
takes
me
back
to
the
last
place
I
was
working
in,
so
I'm
going
to
zoom
out,
so
we
can
look
in
this
particular
one.
I
have
incumbents
loaded,
so
the
incumbents
are
showing
in
red
and
blue
because
they
have
party
affiliation
down
at
the
bottom.
We
show
the
total
population
and
demographics
for
the
for
the
plan
and
it
is
in
an
excel
spreadsheet.
D
In
this
case,
I
have
three
tabs
and
you
can
see
districts
that
have
the
right
amount
of
people
in
it,
showing
with
a
green
checkbox
and
the
ones
that
need
to
be
increased
or
decreased
as
red,
with
a
little
up
arrow
or
down
arrow.
So
I'm
going
to
select
zoom
district
2,
the
software
zooms
right
to
the
district
and
district
2
needs
to
be
increased.
D
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
narrow
the
spreadsheet,
so
it
only
shows
district,
2
and
the
adjacent
districts.
So
in
this
case
I
need
to
add
to
the
to
the
district.
I
can
see.
District
4
needs
to
go
down.
That's
the
down
arrow
next
to
it.
So
I'm
going
to
go
in
there
and
move
a
couple
of
townships
from
one
district
to
the
other,
and
you
can
see
as
I'm
doing
it.
It's
changing
the
numbers.
Now,
it's
green!
Basically,
now
I'm
within
five.
D
D
D
I
can
also
lock
a
part
of
a
district.
So
if
I'm
happy
with
that
little
tip,
I
want
to
keep
it
keep
it
the
way
that
it
is.
I
can
lock
the
features.
I
can
also
do
district
level
locking,
but
this
allows
me
to
just
lock
one
part
of
a
district,
so
I'm
going
to
undo
the
edits
that
I
made
you
can
undo
up
to
50
different.
The
default
is
50,
but
you
can
configure
it
to
any
number
that
you
want
and
it
goes
back
to
previous
sessions.
D
D
So
here
I'm
displaying
all
of
the
in
this
case
precincts
that
have
african-american
population
over
50
percent.
I
can
easily
switch
that
around
and
say.
Okay
now
give
me
everything
that
is
less
than
50.
D
D
If
I
start
to
look
at
political
data
again,
it
knows
that
I'm
looking
at
red
and
blue,
so
it
colors
the
the
republican
leaning
results
as
red
and
and
and
democrats
as
blue.
D
D
Clicking
any
of
the
circles
actually
gives
you
the
information
about
that
particular
precinct.
So
in
this
case
it's
showing
the
puts
the
star
next
to
the
larger
number
and
gives
me
the
percent
at
the.
D
D
D
D
So
we've
really
worked
to
try
to
change
that
and
really
give
you
immediate
access
to
whatever
election
you're
interested
in
so
here
of
this
I've
thrown
up
presidential
data,
a
presidential
race
and
a
congressional
race
for
2008.,
I'm
showing
that
at
the
district
level,
which
is
the
green,
the
boxes
in
the
green
and
I'm
showing
it
for
both
races
and
the
blues
are,
is
going
to
be
the
features.
D
So
when
I
select
a
particular
district,
it
highlights
it
for
me
on
the
on
the
screen
and
from
this
particular
view
I
can
see
that
in
the
presidential
race,
districts,
8
and
9
went
republican,
but
in
the
congressional
they
went
democrat.
So
if
I'm
looking
to
turn
a
district,
those
two
districts
may
be
good
ones.
D
So
it
basically
selects
them
all
for
me
and
you
can
see
the
election
results
showing
in
the
in
the
presidential
race
on
top
in
the
blue
box
and
the
congressional
in
the
bottom
again,
and
these
are
all
the
precincts
that
are
along
the
edge.
So
now
for
this
particular
case,
what
I
want
is
to
start
adding
precincts
that
did
well
republican
in
both
of
their
races.
D
So
the
first
one
I
select
it
looks
like
it
didn't
do
well
in
the
presidential
race,
it
was
a
high
number,
but
it
it
did
poorly
during
the
presidential
race.
So
what
I'm
interested
in
is
a
precinct
that
did
well
in
both
races.
D
These
rain
charts
really
work
well
for
presenting
political
data,
because,
if
you're
looking
at
this,
for
example,
district
one
presidential
race,
the
bottom
of
the
bar
shows
the
number
of
republicans.
The
top
of
the
bar
shows
the
number
of
democrats
that
voted
in
district
one
and
the
difference
is
basically
the
difference
between
those
two.
It's
blue,
because
there
were
more
democrats
in
this
case.
If
you
look
at
district
5,
the
reverse
happened.
D
The
the
higher
the
bar
is
along
the
graph.
The
more
people
participated
in
that
district
and
the
bigger
the
bar
is
the
bigger
the
difference
between
the
democrats
versus
the
republicans
in
that
particular
district,
and
the
same
applies
to
the
smaller
graphs,
the
blue
ones,
as
well
as
the
district-wide
graphs.
D
D
I
can
also
do
the
reverse
and
select
all
the
towns,
in
this
case
on
townships
in
the
inside
of
the
district
and
try
to
remove
any
democratic
cleaning
townships
that
I
might
not
want
in
that
district.
Of
course,
this
I'm
showing
an
example,
in
this
case
very
politically
leaning,
but
this
can
easily
be
used.
The
same
functionality
can
be
used
to
show
racial
demographics
or
any
other
information,
and
the
graphs
are
always
tied
to
whatever
level
of
geography
I'm
working
on.
D
D
D
D
D
D
So
this
allows
me
to
really
get
at
a
lot
of
different
data
sets
and
be
able
to
very
quickly
see.
What's
going
on
once
the
plan
is
complete,
you
can
do
the
discontiguity
on
unassigned
checks.
We
do
make
recommendations
for
correcting
things
when
it
does
find
errors.
D
There's
also
a
number
of
different
reports
that
are
included
in
the
system.
All
are
editable
using
the
report,
editor
that
comes
with
the
system.
In
this
case
I'm
running
a
snapshot
report
and
the
report
shows
a
map
on
the
upper
left.
The
population
deviation
description
of
the
of
the
district
and
then
some
demographics
on
the
right
side.
It
also
tells
you
if
the
incumbent
is
still
inside
the
district
or
not.
D
D
D
D
D
And
then
I
get
an
email
that
I
have
to
click
a
link
and
that
that
validates
it
for
me
now
back
on
my
desktop.
If
I
want
to
see
the
comments
I
go
to
my
online
plan
store
and
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
I'm
going
to
change
my
workspace
filter
by
just
online
commenting
and
I'm
going
to
pick
the
plan
we're
just
working
at
and
look
at
what
comments.
D
D
So
the
next
thing
I'm
going
to
do
is
I'm
working
on
this
plan
with
somebody
else
in
the
office,
and
I
want
to
see
what
they've
done
so
they
have
actually
shared
a
plan
for
me
and
now
what
I
did
is
I
added
their
plan
as
an
overlay
to
my
to
the
plan
I'm
working
on,
so
the
blue
outline
is
the
plan
that
they
just
sent
me.
D
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
do
a
comparison
analysis
to
identify
what
is
it
that
they've
done
to
the
plan,
and
here
the
areas
that
are
red
hatch
are
the
areas
where
he
made
modifications
to
the
to
the
where
his
plan
is
different
than
mine.
D
D
D
D
D
This
is
the
the
main
interface.
The
first
page
is
the
area
where
you
can
actually
communicate
with
other
people.
It's
like
a
messaging
board.
This
is
all
the
plans
that
I
have
anyone
that's
been
already
submitted.
I
can't
edit
anymore
once
the
plan
is
loaded.
D
D
So
it's
made
to
be
very
simple,
but
once
a
plan
is
done
and
we
want
to
show
share
that
with
the
public
we
can
use
this
plan
viewer.
This
is
actually
implemented
in
virginia.
I
go
to
my
plan
library
and
select
the
plans
that
I
want
to
see.
D
D
A
Terrific
fred
right
on
time,
in
fact
very
good,
I'm
I
think
people
are
speechless
right
now.
I
haven't
seen
any
comments
or
questions
coming
in
quite
yet
so
yep,
nothing
yet
so
why
don't
we
go
over
to
our
next
one
and
let
people
fill
in
questions
we'll
end
up
having
some
time
at
the
end
of
this
or
where
we
can
ask
more
questions,
bring
everybody
back
on,
so
you
can
ask
questions
yourself
so
with
that.
A
C
Great
actually
aaron's
going
to
run
the
show
for
me
so
I'll
just
be
given
the
verbal
cues.
We
have
a
couple
slides
to
talk
us
through
and
set
set
some
context,
and
then
aaron
will
be
assisting
me
and
I'll.
Let
him
introduce
himself
as
he
starts
his
demonstration,
but
go
ahead.
Aaron
next
slide
and
that's
both
aaron
and
my
you
know
how
to
get
in
touch
with
us.
If
you
know
how
to
get
in
touch
with
ncsl,
you
can
find
certainly
find
us.
This
is
something
I
wrote.
C
It
actually
wrote
this
about.
15
years
ago
I
gave
I
wrote
this
as
a
goal
for
esri
when
we
decided
to
take
on
the
functionality
of
an
end
tool.
If
you
know
esri,
you
know
that
we
usually
stick
to
core
technology
and
that's
that's
our
happy
place,
but
this
was
something
that
we
were.
We
were
pressured
to
do
we
needed
to
do
so.
C
We
came
at
it
with
a
different,
a
different,
a
different
look,
but
some
goals
that
included
redistricting
but
open
openness
and
transparency
and
citizen
engagement
is
fundamentally
one
of
our
driving
goals
in
creating
this
product.
So
go
ahead.
C
Aaron
by
way
of
histories
again,
we've
not
always
been
in
the
in
the
end
application
part
of
redistricting,
but
we've
always
had
a
history
here
in
the
very
early
80s,
we
were
brought
into
a
contract
with
the
between
doj
and
the
census
bureau
to
help
them
define
and
create
what
ultimately
became
the
pl
data
format
that
work
ended
up,
leading
us
into
helping
them
create
the
tiger
file
as
well.
C
C
In
the
90s,
of
course,
we
had
workstations
and
just
for
perspective
that
workstation
there
on
the
right
side,
probably
cost
sixty
thousand
dollars
in
nineteen
ninety
dollars,
the
software
was
probably
another.
Thirty
thirty
k,
so
redistricting
was
an
inclusive
ex
inclusive
group
based
off
the
cost
alone.
C
2000
was
that
was
that
disruptive
moment
where
technology
kind
of
blew
up
everybody,
both
autobound
and
caliper,
were
there
with
pc
products,
fundamentally
changing
how
redistricting
done
and
opening
up
some
doors.
I
like
to
bring
up
the
case
study
in
2000
of
loudoun
county
a
second-tier
county
in
outside
of
washington
d.c.
C
The
state
had
released
their
data
on
a
sunday
evening
of
their
federal
and
their
state
boundaries,
and
they
opened
it
up
for
the
local
governments
to
start
doing
their
council
districts
by
tuesday
noon.
Loudoun
county
commission
had
just
under
two
dozen
plans
submitted
by
the
public,
and
that,
for
me,
was
an
aha
moment
of
hey
yeah.
I
think
citizens
do
want
to
be
involved.
C
C
This
rather
convoluted
solutions
and
process.
I
think
you
can,
you
can
say,
has
been
simplified
to
the
point
where
the
public
can
easily
easily
contribute.
So
next
slide
aaron.
C
This
was
kind
of
my
vision
I
in
in
csl,
had
asked
me
to
speak
to
the
redistricting
group
back
in
2005,
and
this
was
what
I
drew
on
the
board.
I
like
to
I
like
to
joke
that.
If
there
had
been
rocks
in
the
room,
I
think
I
would
have
been
stoned
to
death.
It
was
kind
of
upsetting
to
the
professionals
they
they
liked
that
closed
system.
They
didn't
know
what
it
meant
to
be
to
be
involved
with
the
citizens
and
how
do
we
do
this
process?
C
This
is
how
I
like
to
describe
our
product
in
three
different
columns:
three
three-legged
stool,
there's
the
data
sources.
Of
course,
that's
the
pl
data,
but
it's
also
the
ability
to
bring
in
other
data
sets
the
the
enterprise
approach
you
have.
Data
sets
not
only
political
data
like
fred
was
showing,
but
cultural
data
to
bring
in
and
help
facilitate
your
development
of
plans
and
those
were
valuable
assets.
C
I
was
still
shocked
in
2011
how
many
people
were
using
sneakernet
to
finish
a
plan
that
had
been
created
by
a
a
legislator
at
friday
at
midnight
and
how
to
transport
it
to
the
people
that
needed
to
look
at
it
and
review
it
that
next
morning,
and
so
the
whole
ability
to
have
plans
have
groups.
Those
groups
have
permissions
who
can
see
what
how
to
how
to
elevate
plans
but
also
centralize
the
data
and
centralize
the
software.
C
C
It
has
all
of
the
functionality
all
the
tools
that
you'll
see
in
the
demonstration.
The
only
thing
that
it
doesn't
have
are
the
tools
to
manage
groups,
share
plans
and
work
on
them.
Interactively
it's
meant
to
be
a
single
seat.
You
create
a
plan,
and
then
you
can
start
publishing
it
through
gis,
normal
solutions,
story,
maps,
arcgis
online
feature,
services
put
it
in
applications
whatever,
but
the
enterprise
versions
are
both
the
manage
cloud
where
esri
will
host
using
amazon
aws.
C
C
The
only
difference
with
the
on-prem
model
is
that
we
hosted
on
your
server
and,
as
kim
asked
me
to
to
to
replicate
you,
you
provide
a
four
core
server,
which
is
the
same
with
most
gis
enterprise
level
software.
This
application
can
run
so
a
four
core
server.
This
application
and
you
have
basically
unlimited
public
users
at
your
disposal.
C
C
There
is
a
learn
lesson
up.
All
you
need
to
do
to
to
interact
with
this
lesson
is:
have
a
competent
web
browser
it's
free
to
use
it's
about
two
hours
long,
it
is
locked
to
the
state
of
maryland.
It
was
the
biggest
smallest
state
that
had
some
worthy
detail
to
build
a
lesson
around.
C
It's
also
where
I
live,
so
that
was
that
helped
me
with
the
decision
process,
but
it's
about
two
hours,
as
I
said,
but
by
the
end
you
will
have
touched
all
the
major
commands
all,
but
all
the
major
tabs
that
you'll
see
aaron
using
a
little
bit
later
and
you
will
feel
quite
competent
in
building
a
plan
and
taking
it
all
the
way
to
a
completion
next
slide.
C
The
state
of
utah
is
my
poster
child
from
2011.
They
bought
into
the
public
participation
story
completely.
They
wanted
a
public
engagement
tool.
They
wanted
online
interaction.
They
didn't
want
to
have
to
buy
pcs
for
each
library
in
the
state,
as
well
as
the
software
to
put
on
those
pcs.
They
wanted
it
web
browser
based.
C
They
wanted
it
customizable
because
they
wanted
to
look
like
you,
the
state
of
utah,
not
some,
not
some
other
application,
and
they
wanted
the
menu
system,
the
workflow
of
the
application
to
reduce
the
the
need
for
training
in
itself.
They
were
a
mixed
shop.
State
legislators
and
their
consultants
had
had
autobound
the
public
had
access,
as
well
as
other
legislators
had
access
to
esri
redistricting.
C
So
they
were
able
to
publish
plans
and
interact
together
using
losing
multiple
platforms.
They
did
build
a
blog
site
which
we've
taken
that
functionality
and
embedded
it
into
the
product.
This
this
decade
go
around.
Some
of
the
benefits
that
staff
relate
to
me
was
the
media
participation
they
by
opening
up
this
heretofore,
opaque
nefarious
process.
C
They
really
gained
a
lot
of
positive
attention
from
the
state,
the
media
in
the
state
they
used.
This
application
in
their
17
constitutional
meetings
around
the
state
staff,
told
me
that
they
would
ask
somebody
ask
the
room
if
somebody
had
used
the
application.
Somebody
usually
had
and
they'd
start
the
the
evening
by
asking
that
person
to
explain
their
plan
time
and
time
again,
they
said
yeah
I
came
at
it.
I
wanted
my
community
whole.
C
So
that
was
a
big
civic
lesson
that
that
the
state
identified
they
had
well
over
a
thousand
registered
users
about
850
used
it
for
more
than
an
hour,
in
other
words,
came
in
played
with
it
and
got
bored
and
left,
but
about
800
people
actually
worked
through.
It
did
something.
Did
some
work?
323
of
them
submitted
the
plans
and
through
their
constitutional
requirements,
as
well
as
all
the
validation
that
our
software
does.
271
met
all
the
criteria
and
were
official
plans
and,
as
a
side
note
one
of
their
statewide
plans.
They
do.
C
C
So
to
end
my
the
slide
part,
you
know
we
were,
after
a
web-based
environment
for
creating
and
sharing
plans.
The
ability
to
collaborate
was
first
most
in
our
development,
and
I
think
you'll
see
that
in
how
we
how
we
laid
out
the
menus,
but
the
ultimate
goal
was
to
bring
clarity
to
the
redistricting
process.
It
is
a
process,
it's
a
human
process,
meaning
it's
a
political
process
and
they're.
C
F
F
So
the
file
tab
contains
everything
normally
associated
with
a
file
tab.
You
know
creating
new
plans,
opening
plans,
saving
the
plan
or
saving
it
with
a
different
file
name.
We
can
import
plans
either
as
a
fixed
text
format,
so
an
excel
file
or
csv.
F
F
The
view
tab
allows
us
to
modify
the
number
of
districts
we're
working
with
show
the
target
values
in
the
plan.
So
here
we
see
that
we
need
just
under
145
000
people
per
district.
To
balance.
This
proposal
we
can
modify
how
the
districts
are
displayed
either
by
an
out
boundary
or
a
fill,
and
we
can
modify
how
the
district
names
are
displayed.
F
F
We
can
view
regional
which
right
now
wouldn't
do
anything
since
there
are
no
unassigned
districts,
but
in
the
event
there
were,
it
would
zoom
to
those.
We
also
have
the
option
to
undock.
The
attribute
table
from
the
bottom
of
the
screen
in
its
own
window
is
particularly
useful
in
a
multi-monitor
environment
and
as
soon
as
a
user
is
done.
Looking
at
the
attribute
table
and
map
separately,
they
can
close
that
window
and
it
will
re-dock
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen.
F
Next,
we
have
the
create
tab,
so
we
can
add
demographic
variables
to
the
plan.
Demographics
are
organized
by
set
within
the
software.
So
if
I
wanted
to
see
what's
in
the
alternative
set,
I
can
click
the
caret
and
expand.
That
component
view
the
demographic
variables
as
well
as
a
description-
and
I
can
add
those
individually
or
by
set.
F
F
Users
can
modify
the
base
map.
This
works
exactly
like
it
does
on
arcgis
online.
If
I
would
like
to
see
an
imagery
base
layer,
I
can
select
imagery
streets,
topographic,
etc.
Users
can
apply
themes
to
the
plan.
This
is
useful
when
you're
doing
micro
adjustments
you're
trying
to
balance
districts.
You
know
one
and
two
individuals
at
a
time.
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
This
will
also
show
the
number
of
holes
in
a
respective
district.
The
number
of
holes
will
also
be
a
result
of
our
integrity
tests.
So
when
a
user
clicks
check
integrity,
our
integrity
test
will
run.
There
are
six
individual
tests
that
make
sure
all
geometries
are
assigned
to
a
district
that
we
have
the
appropriate
deviation
of
each
district,
that
all
of
our
districts
connect
and
that
all
unassigned
districts
have
been
assigned
to
a
specific
district.
F
F
So
now
I've
assigned
that
to
district
two
to
remedy
it,
I'll
move
to
discontiguous
district.
So
here
I
see
that
district
one
is
actually
two
distinct
parts,
I'll
click
next
part
until
I
find
the
component
that
does
not
match
the
larger
source
district
and
assign
it
to
the
appropriate
district.
Using
my
preferred
selection
method.
F
F
We
can
run
reports
on
the
plan,
so
we
have
the
option
to
run
a
population
summary
report,
an
all-district
summary
voting
age
population
summary,
a
district
geography
or
district
statistics
report
view
the
unassigned
geographies.
We
can
generate
bill
text
the
meets
and
bounds
for
the
plan
or
run
a
district
compactness
report
or
assign
district
splits
report.
Now
all
these
reports
run
in
the
browser,
so
I
went
ahead
and
ran
two
of
these
reports
before
the
demo.
F
F
F
Next,
we
have
the
plan
sharing
options
when
a
user
creates
a
plan
they
can
attach
files
to
the
plan.
This
is
particularly
useful
if
a
resident
had
proposed
changes
between
district
3
and
district
4,
and
they
wrote
those
nodes
up
in
a
word
document.
They
can
attach
that
word
document
here
and
when
their
plan
is
submitted,
the
reviewer
of
the
proposal
can
open
their
word
document
and
review
their
plan.
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
So
once
richard
opens
a
plan,
he'll
be
able
to
access
the
user
interface
and
we'll
see
that
this
invites
windows
shows
a
one
if
he
navigates
the
share
tab
and
views
group
invites
he
can
accept.
That
invitation
by
navigating
back
to
the
open
folder
going
to
shared
plans
in
colorado
senate.
We'll
see
that
richard
can
open
the
plan
that
I
shared
with
them.
F
F
Once
the
plan
populates
we'll
see
that
it's
exactly
the
plan
that
I
shared
from
my
initial
user
account,
the
final
step
would
be
to
go
through
the
submit
process
a
user
needs
to
submit.
I
click
the
submit
tab,
submit
plan
button
and
the
integrity
test
will
run
one
final
time
as
long
as
these
check
out,
the
user
will
have
the
option
to
submit
the
plan
to
the
curator
for
review.
So
that's
how
to
share
a
plan
using
the
redistricting
software
that
esri
offers.
C
All
right,
thank
you
for
for
attending
this
session
and
back
to
you
kim.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
aaron
and
thank
you
richard
for
providing
that
software
on
that
side.
Just
in
time.
In
fact,
the
timer
just
went
off
perfect
all
right.
The
final
presentation
we
have
is
I
redistricting
by
zillion
info
ella.
If
you're
there,
why
don't
you
go
ahead
and
share
your
screen
and
come
on
and
tell
us
about
that
software.
B
E
E
Okay,
so
the
traditional
redistricting
is
mainly
rely
on
human
user
to
optimize
and
based
on
the
try
and
the
error
approach
is
very
time
consuming
and
it's
very
hard
to
make
high
quality
plans
with
the
new
redistricting
technology.
We
have
powerful,
optimization,
algorithm
built-in
and
we
allow
users
to
interact
with
the
computer
to
set
your
requirements
and
provide
your
ideas.
E
The
computer
will
then
finalize
the
plan.
It
will
take
less
effort
less
time
and
have
much
better
work
done.
Okay,
here's
one
question
is
automated
solution
always
better?
Well,
you
need
to
check
the
redistricting
plans
created.
So
algorithms
and
algorithms
are
different.
A
good
solution
should
produce
a
high
quality
plans
in
terms
of
meeting
different
requirements,
as
well
as
allowing
users
to
interact
with
the
calculation,
and
this
is
a
algorithm
performance
comparison.
E
We
compare
our
method
with
some
other
optimization
methodology.
E
The
figure
below
show
the
figure
here
shows
the
comparison
like
the
the
right
column
is
our
r
method
and
then,
with
some
other,
like
the
genetic
algorithm,
greedy
search
taboo,
our
method,
significantly
outperforms
at
the
method
in
terms
of
a
better
score,
shorter
running
time
and
more
reliable.
All
the
scores
here,
the
best
score,
the
mean
standard
deviation
in
the
second
parallel.
All
these
scores
are
the
smaller
the
better,
and
if
you
compare
the
numbers,
it's
significantly
upbeat
them
and
the
main
feature
of
ire
district.
E
We
do
not
need
to
check
contiguity,
because
you
have
no
opportunity
to
create
plans
that
it's
not
contiguous
and
it
can
achieve
very,
very
high
low
deviation,
population
inequality
as
almost
zero
deviation,
and
then
it
achieved
the
shape
compactness
and
it
allowed
user
to
preserve
the
user-specific
coi,
and
we
can
also
preserve
the
majority
minority
zones
and
another
feature
it
can
respect
existing
boundaries
like
a
previous
districts
or
some
political
subdivisions
like
when
we
create
the
plan,
we
want
to
minimize
the
crossing
of
counties
and
we
can
respect
multiple
boundaries.
E
Another
criteria
is
a
partition.
Fairness
for
this
one.
You
need
the
election
data
and
some
other
features
is.
You
can
produce
multiple
plans
in
one
round
and
there
is
no
limitation
on
how
how
many
number
of
plans
you
can
create
in
one
round.
It's
just
like
the
more
number
of
planes
you
want
to
want
to
create
the
longer
time
it
will
take,
but
you
have
more
opportunity
to
create
a
much
better
one.
E
You
can
compare
different
plans
with
the
scores
you
can
visually
compare
them.
We
visualize
the
score
of
those
plans
and
you
can
added
the
plan
and
you
can
lock
some
districts
and
around
others,
and
you
can
generate
comparable
reports
and
you
can
export
plans.
You
can
use
powerplants
into
accelerate
shape,
file
or
csv.
E
So
we
do
not
use
any
special
file
format,
all
open
file
format.
You
can
also
save
the
redistricting
projects
workspace
so
that
you
can
revisit
it
next
time
or
you
share
it
with
your
coworker
and
collaboration
is
mainly
for
every
district
online.
The
previous
features
is
for
both
desktop
and
online,
but
the
collaboration
is
mainly
for
online
and
you
can
for
for
ire
district
online.
You
can
have
a
group
of
users.
You
can
share
the
plans
within
the
group.
You
can
collaboratively
create
plans,
you
can
publish
the
plan
for
the
public.
E
E
This
is
a
plan
created
by
our
district,
desktop
with
minnesota
block
groups,
and
you
see
the
deviation
is
almost
zero
percent.
It's
between
zero
percent
to
you
know,
point
zero.
Five
percent
and
the
shape
is
very
good,
and
this
is
another
one.
This
is
a
pure
zero
percent,
so
we
we
are
able
to
using
the
block
group.
So
we
can,
we
can
achieve
like
a
pure
zero
percent,
and
this
is
a
video
like
you
can
demo.
This
is
how
the
desktop
software
works.
E
You
know
you
said
how
many
number
of
districts
you
want
to
round
and
how
many
number
of
plants
you
want
to
round.
Here's,
how
many
number
of
plants
and
the
surrounding
now
and
you
got
so
many
plants,
and
here
each
dot
is
represent
one
plant
if
you
switch
the
dot
well.
This
is
some
some
numbers
and
you
see
the
this
is
the
deviation,
it's
very,
very
low
yep
and
go
go
back
a
little
bit.
E
E
We
can
draw
coi
so
in
the
software
here
on
the
menu,
you
can
show
the
coi
toolbar
and
then
here
you
can
just
click,
and
then
you
draw
the
coi
here
or
another
way
is
you
can
load
in
a
coi
layer?
So
it's
here
in
the
menu
you
load,
the
save
the
coi
joins.
It's
a
shape
file
and
here
another
way
is
like
how
we
preserve
the
majority
in
the
minority
zones,
because
the
software
can
visualize
the
population
density.
So
we
can
pick
the
minority
population
and
then
see
here.
E
E
E
Oh
now
we
got
30
plants
and
in
all
those
plants,
the
coi
we
we
we
do
will
be
preserved.
It
wouldn't
be
broken.
E
Okay,
now
we
switch
to
another
topic:
it's
a
preserve
the
existing
boundary.
Now
in
a
lot
of
states,
it's
required
to
minimize
the
crossing
of
upper
level.
Administrative
boundary
like,
for
example,
minimize,
the
crossing
of
county
boundary
or
some
other
boundary,
and
this
is
how,
in
the
in
the
software
we
we
we
enable
this
function.
E
So
we
are
loading
the
county
boundary
and
then
we
set
the
weight
for
each
criteria.
We
can
change
their
weight.
We
can
switch
that
rate
if
you,
if
you
round
it
to
this
this
way,
and
you
do
not
like
it,
you
want
to
enhance
another
criteria,
you
can,
you
can
increase
the
weight
and
now
you
click
run.
E
Yeah
you
got
this
and
this
is
this
is
in
north
carolina
when,
but
if
you
have
a
a
county
that
has
a
much
larger
population,
then
the
software
will.
The
software
is
smart
to
know
that
it
has
to
break
it,
because
otherwise
it
cannot
get
a
balanced
population.
So,
but
in
the
place
like
you
see
here,
it
will
preserve
the
boundary
of
the
county,
but
then
in
here
I
will
break
it.
E
Okay
and
and
also
if
you
check
the
deviation,
this
is
still
very
good,
so
very
good
deviation,
very
good
shape
and
minimize
the
crossing
of
the
boundary,
and
you
can
also
added
the
plan
so
you
can
draw
about.
This
is
the
edit
tool
and
then
you
click
here
and
then
you
draw
this
area
and
then
the
the
software
will
show
you
the
this
tricks
that
is
continuous
to
this
area.
So
you
have
no
opportunity
to
create
something
that
is
not
contiguous
and
you
just
pick
one
so
for
this
red
area.
E
We
draw
another
area
and
we
change
it
yeah
when
we
change
this.
The
report
here
and
the
chart
here
will
be
automatically
changed.
So
you
can,
you
can
see
if
you
do
not
like
this,
you
just
go
back.
You
do
not
like
this
editing,
you
can.
You
can
move
back
well.
Another
feature
is
you
can
lock
like
say
when
you
create
this
one?
You
said
like
I
like
this:
this
tricks
I
like
this
district.
E
I
want
to
lock
them
and
then
rerun
the
the
other
part.
So
we
lock
these
two
districts
and
you
see
these
two
plans.
E
The
top
part
are
different,
but
they
all
very
good
plans,
very
balanced
population,
and
we
can
use
this.
This
is
the
lock
tool.
You
just
click
this
lock
tool
to
lock
them.
We
can
use
this
strategy
to
achieve
zero
deviation
or
some
other
ideal
plans.
E
You
see
this
is
well.
We
we
use
utah
block
group
to
create
the
pure
zero
percent
deviation.
We
just
use
the
log
function.
We
run
this
default
like
a
probably
two
to
three
times
to
achieve
this,
so
just
lock
one
and
then
rerun
others
and
then
got
another
pure
zero,
and
then
we
lock
this
two
and
then
we
round,
and
then
they
will
just
come
up
with
that
and
we
we
also
have
a
another
way
to
help
you
to
produce
the
zero
deviation
plan.
E
This
is
a
demo
we
can.
We
can
show
you.
E
Yeah
we
are
trying
to
create
a
mix
layer.
So
when
we
do
the
mixer
layer,
we
need
to
load
in
pick
the
block
layer
so
load
the
block
layer.
E
And
we're
we're
configuring
yeah.
This
is
the
special
file
wait
a
moment
I'm
going
to
this
is
not.
E
Good
wait
wait
a
moment
here
yeah.
This
is
the
you
know
along
the
the
boundary
we
have
blocks
there.
Then
we
we
try
to
create
to
balance
the
boundary
balance
plan
so
from
this
is
a
special
file,
and
this
is
what
we
got
and
then
we
can
achieve
the
zero
deviation.
This
is
actually
even
we
do
the
traditional
redistricting
if
it's
required
to
create
a
zero
zero
deviation
plan.
This
is
what
we
do
with
manually
with
human
user
labor,
but
it's
very
hard.
It's
very
long.
E
E
Another
one
is
the
we
call
the
divide
and
conquer
well,
the
name
is
kind
of
strange,
but
it's
really
trying
to
create
the
plans
that
nested
within
an
upper
level
boundaries.
In
this
example,
the
red
boundary
is
the
highway
boundary
and
we
create
try
to
create
the
districts
nested
all
within
this,
and
this
is
based
on
the
blocks,
and
this
is
the
same
area.
This
is
ridgeland
county.
In
south
carolina-
and
this
is
used
to
block
groups,
but
the
blocks
always
align
with
the
highway.
E
However,
with
the
block
groups,
it
doesn't
like
you
see
here,
because
it
is
a
block
group
cross
the
highway.
So
at
the
place
that
the
block
group
aligned
with
aligns
with
the
highway,
it
will
always
be
nested
within
if
it
across
the
highway,
then
it
will
go
out
a
little
bit,
but
the
software
is
smart
enough
to
know
where
it
should
keep
inside
and
where
it
can
go
across.
E
It's
called
competition,
so
you
and
then
you
you
need
to
have
the
election
data.
You
need
to
have
like
the
two-party
data,
and
you
add
those
two-party
data
here
and
then,
and
you
just
make
this
one
of
your
criteria
and
right
now,
this
one
is
you
you
want
to
fairness,
you
want
to
balance
the
power
of
the
two-party,
so
you
can
do
this.
E
E
E
Yeah,
this
is
how
it
works.
Oh
yeah,
you
can
also
configure
the
report
to
show
the
numbers.
E
This
is
a
for
plan
comparison.
We
can
visually
measure
them.
There
are
10
plants
here,
and
this
is
a
gather
plot.
At
this
axis.
We
use
population
equality,
you
can
choose
it
to
any
anything,
and-
and
here
this
is
a
shape
compactness
and
each
time
you
can
only
with
a
scatter
plot.
You
have
two
axis,
so
you
just
pick
two
and
then
you
can
change
like
a
population.
E
Two
boundary
preservation,
but
then
here
the
smaller,
the
population,
the
better
and
the
larger
the
shape
number,
the
better
so
closer
to
this
area
means
a
better
plan,
and
this
is
it's
a
list
that
calculate
the
total
total
score
based
on
the
weight
setting
for
each
criteria.
E
So
this
is
the
total
score,
and
if
you
open
this
one,
you
can
rank
it
by
all
criteria
or
only
by
population
or
only
by
shape
or
only
by
boundary.
So
this
is
the
ranking
of
them.
E
In
the
reporting
for
the
desktop
you
can
report
it
and
save
excel
and
we
can
save
all
the
population
deviation
the
numbers
and
then
the
shape,
compactness,
all
those
information,
and
you
can
save
it
as
for
one
file,
you
can
save
it
as
a
shape
file.
A
ship
file
can
save
only
one
redistricting
plan
and
you
can
also
save
a
csv
file.
The
csv
file
can
hold
multiple
plans
and
then
you
later
on,
you
can
load
it
back
or
you
can
well.
E
I
I
didn't
show
the
screen,
but
you
can
also
save
your
work.
You
save
it
as
a
project,
it's
like
imxd,
but
not
the
mxd.
It's
just
you.
If
you
save
your
project,
it
will
remember
all
your
criteria.
Settings.
You
know
how
you
set
your
parameters
here.
You
set
any
weight,
you
set
any
threshold,
it
will
all
remember
them,
and
then
you
can
share
it
to
your
co-worker
and
the
co-work.
Your
co-worker
can
work
on
top
of
your
what
you
did
or
you
can
save
it
for
your
later
access.
E
Yeah,
this
is
for
the
reporting
and
then
the
online
online
edition
can
also
export
the
shapefile
and
the
csv,
but
with
online
it
can
also
publish
a
plan
within
the
group
to
share
the
plans
with
the
team
members
or
publish
a
map
service
to
share
the
url
with
the
public
and
next
I'm
going
to
introduce
the
online
for
online.
This
is
the
interface
and
then
you
sign
up,
and
then
you
go
to
data.
You
upload
your
data,
okay,
you
upload
your
data
and
then
this
is
the
wizard
to
upload
the
data.
E
Now,
let's
do
a
demo,
so
I'm
signing
I'm
signing
in
and
I
already
got
the
data
uploaded
yeah.
This
is
how
you
upload
your
data,
and
now
you
pick,
but
this
is
utah
block
group.
So
I
picked
the
ira
district
because
this
platform
has
a
lot
of
other
features.
Ire
district
is
a
one
of
that,
so
I
load
the
data
and
now
the
population
is
the
population,
so
we
can
see
the
population
density.
E
And
here
you
have
csv
pdf,
you
can
export
your
your
report
to
csv
format,
a
pdf
format
or
you
can
print
it.
Let
me
show
you
one
thing
here:
yeah
see
here.
This
is
a
very
important
step.
You
need
to
configure
your
service,
you
need
to
tell
your
your
service,
which
attribute
you
want
to
optimize.
So
usually
it's
a
population
and
then,
if
you
have
a
predefined,
coi
layer,
you
want
to
load
any
layer.
You
can
put
it
here.
If
you
want
to
respect
any
boundary,
you
can
put
it
here.
E
You
can
have
multiple
coi
layer.
You
can
have
multiple
binary
layers
here
so,
and
this
is
for
background
layer,
you
can,
if
you,
if
you
need,
you,
can
include
as
many
as
the
background
layer
here
for
your
reference.
So
the
background
layer
wouldn't
contribute
to
the
calculation.
It's
just
for
you
to
view
the
information.
E
Oh
yeah,
this
is,
I
just
explained
how
you
configure
your
redistricting
service,
and
you
see
this
is
an
example.
I
use
utah
county
as
the
boundary.
So
when
I
run
this,
I
I
set
the
county
utah
county
as
a
boundary,
and
now,
when
I
load
it,
the
utah
boundaries.
Well,
the
utah
county
is
shown
here
and
and
now
when
we
run
the
redistricting
plan,
you
see
this
is
a
criteria.
This
is
all
the
criteria.
They
do
exactly
the
same
function
as
the
desktop.
The
just.
E
The
interface
is
a
little
bit
different,
a
little
bit
different,
but
they
they
perform
the
same
function
so
see
here.
This
is
how
many
number
of
districts
you
want
to
set
you
want,
you
want
to
create,
and
this
is
how
many
number
of
planes
you
want
to
create-
and
now
you
see
this
is
the
result
from
like
we
want
to
balance
the
population,
the
compact
shape
and
the
minimizer
crossing
of
a
county
binary,
and
you
see
the
deviation.
E
This
deviation
is
a
problem
because
we
previously
when,
when
I
created
this
screenshot,
we
we
only
show
the
percentage
to
one
one
digit
one
decimal.
So
it's
0.0
percent,
but
the
real
number
is
probably
0.001.
E
E
So
we
created
multiple
plans
and
we
can
switch
different
plans
when
you
click
those
dots
here.
The
plans
will
be
changed
and
also
the
report
will
be
changed,
and
this
is
how
you
configure
your
report.
You
can
as
long
you
have
the
data
included
in
your
unit
layer.
You
can
add
them,
you
can
add
any
any
one
of
them
to
your
to
a
report,
and
you
see
here.
E
E
So
this
actually
shows
you
each
each
line
is
one
plan,
and
then
you
can
see
how
those
plans
stay
in
this
multi-dimensional
coordinate
because
the
scatter
plot
each
time,
you
can
only
see
two
criteria,
but
with
this,
if
you
have
many
criteria
it
just
it
will
have
multiple
axis
here.
So
this
is
another
way
for
you
to
compare
your
plan
and
see
where
those
plants
sit
in
this
coordinate.
E
E
Well,
this
is
the
next
demo
we're
gonna
save
the
plan
to
the
personal
gallery,
see
we
created
so
many
plans.
We
may
not
want
to
collect,
save
all
of
them
because
we
may
want
we
may
just
like
one
or
two,
so
we
can
save
the
plan
to
the
personal
gallery
and
we
can
publish
a
plan
as
a
url
for
public
access,
so
this
is
a
demo
for
it.
E
A
E
E
Okay,
I'll
be
very
soon
so
now
you
have
it
you're
done.
This
is
my
plan.
I
can
share
it,
so
you
can
give
it
a
title
or
not
and
create
a
url.
You
copy
this
url
you'll
put
open
another
browser
session
and
you
put
it
here
now
you
have
a
you,
didn't
write
any
code,
and
now
you
have
a
plan
and
this
you
can
zoom
in
zoom
out
it's
all
interactive
and
then
there
are
multiple
layers
you
can
like.
Well,
you
can
zoom
and
you
can
yeah
hide
different
layers
and
then
yeah.
E
How
you
save
the
plan
to
the
group
gallery
and
vote
and
comment
on
the
plans
so
now
I'm
signing
in
with
another
user.
This
is
just
another
user
and
then
I
switch
to
utah
group
because
I
I
switch
to
the
utah
group
and
I
go
to
the
group
gallery
and
then
I
can
load
in
the
my
demo
plan.
E
E
So
everybody
can
see
those
those
comments,
and
you
can
also
like
the
plan
and
also
from
here,
because
you
already
load
the
discipline
to
your
plot
panel
and
then
see
here,
there's
added
coi,
there's,
locking
and
then
you
can
based
on
discipline.
You
can
revise
it,
you
can
read
you
can
edit
it
and
then
you
can
create
another
edition
of
the
plan.
I
think
I'm
down.
E
Yeah,
I
think
I
finished
now
is
just
your
question:
how
we
price
this
package,
we
price
it
per
seat
or
per
group.
We
have
very
flexible,
we
can
just
negotiate
and
when,
whenever
you
have
more
than
three
licenses,
we
give
a
discount
and
we
provide
both
desktop
license
and
online
license
for
the
online
addition.
We
can.
We
provide
both
sas
software
as
a
service
and
on-premise
compromise
and
on-premise
you
can,
you
can
just
install.
This-
is
internal
on
internal
server,
for
some
additional
components
like
digi
info
online
is
a
geoai
platform.
E
Redistrict
is
one
component
on
this
platform
and
there
are
analytics
components.
We
have
a
suite
of
like
a
six
special
data
mining
tools
and
then
and
the
toolbox
with
data
processing,
data
aggregation
and
the
user
may
use
them.
For
example,
the
data
aggregation
and
disaggregation
tool
and
the
multivariable
population
classroom
analytics
tool.
This
people
can
use
them
and-
and
also
there
are
two
online
services
we
are
releasing
very
soon.
I
believe
it
will
be
within
this
mouse.
One
is
the
online
coi
collection
service.
E
It
allows
a
group
of
users
to
collaboratively
draw
cois
once
we
release
this
one.
We
release
it
to
to
to
public,
so
everybody
can
create
a
just,
every
everybody
can
can
use
it
and
the
other
one
is
the
nationwide.
It
is
tricking
data,
so
we
got
got
this
integrated
the
eye.
Reducer
dops.
Can
what
hardware
are
you
recommending
to
using
this
tool.
E
E
Oh
yeah,
I
think
I'm
already
not
sharing
right.
A
Okay,
we
have
time
for
other
people
asking
questions
and
also
for
people
our
presenters,
if
you
wanna
turn
on
your
screen
itself,
so
that
we
can
see
you
because
we
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
for
for
everybody.
A
D
So
on
the
desktop
there
really
isn't
it's
just,
however
machines
you
get
you
install
the
software
on
and
on
the
internet.
Our
application
is
very
lightweight,
so
we
haven't
really
had
any
issues
with
multiple
users.
D
We
use
very
light
back-end,
it's
a
php
based
and
html,
so
it's
not
a
very
heavy
load
on
the
server.
So
we're
not.
We
don't
really
see
that
as
a
as
an
issue.
C
Well,
I'll
jump
in
on
also
ours
doesn't
have
a
a
desk,
so
it
is
just
a
browser-based.
Most
of
the
calculation
is
done
in
the
browser,
so
it
is
lightweight
compared
to
what
the
server
load
is
most
of
the
most
of
the
activity
to
the
server
is
when
your
initial
grabbing
of
the
data
and
then
saving
it
back.
Everything
else
is
done
at
the
browser,
so
just
having
a
competent
browser
is
your.
B
Thanks
kim
so
we've
been
running,
this
maptitude
for
online
redistricting
and
various
iterations
for
10
years
have
a
lot
of
experience
with
dealing
with
large
groups
of
users
while,
like
many
other
software,
most
of
the
calculations
are
done
in
the
browser.
There
is
some
hardware
requirements
so
for
each
instance
we're
supporting
50,
simultaneous
or
concurrent
users.
B
That's
been
through.
You
know
some
proven
tests
with
large
number
of
users
in
real
scenarios
over
the
past
last
10
years,.
A
All
right
and
ella
are.
E
Yes,
I'm
still
here
well,
we
do
provide
both
the
desktop
and
online
edition
and
for
the
desktop
it
can
run
on
both
windows
and
the
mac.
We
suggest
to
have
a
larger
ram.
The
16
gigabyte
is
the
minimum
because
we
have
very
because
we
have
very
intensive
calculation,
the
radio
3
online.
E
E
There's
no
no
limitations
really
up
to
the
ram
and
also
like.
So
if
you
have,
if
you
have
like
a
several
hundred
ram,
then
you
can
sponsor
a
lot
of
users
because
most
users
they
may
not
wrong
registrating
at
the
same
time,
exactly
the
same
time.
So
there's
no
limitations
up
to
the
computer
capacity.
E
And
and
right
now,
sitting
for
online,
it's
a
hosting
for
just
online,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
users
are
using
it.
As
I
said,
redistricting
is
just
one
one
component
in
it.
We
have
people
are
using
this
for

visualization,
for
clustering,
analytics

map
analytics
and
also
like,
say
we're
actually
hosting
a
cold
week
19,
and
it's
also
on
top
of
this
server.
So
I
actually
already
support
a
lot
of
users.
A
All
right,
I
think
that
is
the
extent
of
our
questions.
I
think
we
may
have
seen
a
bunch
of
people
drop
off
to
see
cnn
and
see
what's
going
on
in
the
capitol
right
now
on
that
side.
So
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
making
your
presentations
and
being
part
of
this
cadre
of
of
questionable
people
dealing
with
redistricting,
as
we
all
are
known
on
that
side,
so
by
all
means.
Thank
you
very
much
and
we'll
see
everybody
tomorrow.
